SOLUTION
Given the question in the question tab, the following are the solution steps to get the ratio of Trumpets to violins
Step 1: Write the given data
40 trumpets
39 clarinets
24 violins
51 flutes
16 trombones
Step 2: Write the ratio of trumpets to violins
Trumpets=40
Violins=24
![\begin{gathered} \text{ratio}=40\colon24=(40)/(24) \\ By\text{ s}implification, \\ (40)/(24)=(5)/(3) \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/89ezkbs32un18nscx4nuokb66t7lm48cnc.png)
Hence, the ratio of trumpets to violin in its simplest from is:
